Flames blowing the Sabres right up, 5-0 and still 4 minutes to play in second. I expect they get 2 points tonight.

Sabres should have started Dell in net, he has made some crazy saves since he came in. The one on Mangiappane looking for his hat trick was a pure desperation save. Impressive.

And another shut out to boot. That's 2 points they can use.

A very good and tidy road game, solid in both ends and great tending, they are rolling.

In past years Flames would choke on the easy teams…not come out with a strong effort.
This year they keep their feet moving and play smart.
Great goaltending.
Enjoyable to watch.
Even Johnny is playing better.
Tkachuk can float at times… his pass for the break away was skilled.

They are still guilty of this so far this year. They should have beat San Jose and Montreal.
On the bright side you are right we did beat Ottawa and Buffalo.

Yeah, lackin discipline big time. They are playing a good game but they have to stop with dumb penalties.

I used to cheer for Hawks, but I can't anymore. Even if it means Oilers going ahead again tonight.

Good test today. Can't be giving these guys as many power plays. I do look forward to see how we do here. Would be nice if was at start of the road trip. Seen a comparison yesterday against the Islanders of the schedules. We have had way less breaks, more back to backs, road games all that stuff. Hopefully we get that later in the season when rest will benefit.

Wow. 4 -0 so far in the 3rd. One short handed by the bread man. Flames all in on Sutter structure.

Yep, that trap has been working pretty good tonight agains the Bruins. They are all playing solid game, great defense, and Vladar has made some great saves tonight too.

Gotta say I have not been this excited to watch Flames hockey in years.LOL.
This team is clicking from goaltending to forwards. Johnny has finally found his heart and ball sack..

I couldn't believe my eyes when Johnny threw that big hit, skated right through it. I have never seen him hit anyone before. Caught him good with head down. Didn't catch who was on the receiving end. But wow. Johnny hitting. Who woulda thunk it?
Must be because his dad was there watching, and his uncle.

And another shut out win no less! That's 7 this year, 2nd for Vladar. Crazy. Yep, gotta edit the thread title Moose.
I didn't expect such a solid win against Bruins in their own barn, especially on a back to back game for Flames. Just wow.

I’m kinda superstitious when it comes to sports. Something as simple as a title edit could throw the team off the tracks……

Exactly. It’s not changing
4 games in 6 nights and only have 4 games remaining for the year in the eastern time zone. Crazy

Fair enough, leave the title alone then. What they are doing is working.
First in the Pacific again, for now. This is shaping up to be a Cinderella season.
